Cold - An Inuoka X reader Love story

6 - The Dark Void of nobody

Y/n POV

I ran into the house and closed the door, locking it afterwards. I ran to my room, passing by Kotaros room. His door was open and he was studying. He saw me running and called out to me. I went into my room and slammed the door. I curled up into a ball in the corner of my room and hugged my knees while crying. Did Inuoka and Shibayama really think that about me? I couldn't think straight. This was the first time I've felt like this since mom and dad died. What was this feeling? Loneliness?

Suddenly I heard a knock on the door.

"Y/n? N/n?" I heard my brother frantically say. I didn't respond. He opened the door and ran to me, embracing me in his arms as he flipped onto the ground next to me.

"Y/n? What happened?" I didnt look up from my knees. I sat there and kept crying. Kotaro eventually calmed down and just hugged me. We sat there for a few minutes before I calmed down too.

"You want to talk about it?"

"K-Kotaro" I whispered.

"Hm?"

"Am I... am I a s-slut?"

"Wha- of course not! Which asshole told you that?"

"W-well I was waiting for Inuoka and Shibayama outside of the store" I pointed at the bag near my door.
"And those boys came over to me while I was waiting"

"What? Why do those kids still pick on you??"

"I... I don't know... but he grabbed me and started whispering stuff like I'm a slut and Mom and dad deserved to die and I just want to get one of the volleyball boys which is why I hang out with my two best friends... he also said that.... t-that Inuoka and shibayama t-think the s-same thing..." I started sobbing uncontrollably again. Kotaro gently grabbed my shoulders and guided me to cry on him.

"I don't think they think that, y/n..."

As I cried, he stroked my h/l h/c hair. I calmed down and he led me to my bed where I fell asleep, my head in his lap.

Kotaro POV

Y/n fell asleep with her head in my lap. I then moved her to her pillow and put the sheets over her. I gave her a kiss on the forehead, then left while closing the door behind me.

I walked back to my room to continue studying.

After about 20 minutes, y/n was still asleep, but I heard a knock on the door. I got up and walked down stairs.

I opened the door, it was....

Inuoka POV

I was stuck between my thoughts. I couldn't think properly. Should I text her? Should I go check up on her? What do I do? I internally panicked, thinking what I should do?

I decided to text her

Y/n

Me: hey y/n, you ok? You kinda just ran off, I was worried about you so if you need to then talk to me, ok?
Delivered

I never got a response, so I decided to go to her house and check up on her. I walked to her door and knocked. After a few seconds, her brother opened the door.

"Oh hey, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see if uh y/n is ok... is she?"

He stayed silent before letting me in. I stood next to him as he closed the door and locked it. He looked at me then pointed to the stairs.
